ahead behind both bus picked respect sides time
Really, our expectations will not change. I say it every year. We respect Texas. We've been on both sides of it. We've been picked behind them before, and we've been picked ahead of them before. We'll get off the bus when it's time to play.
ball both discipline good physical players sides strong win
On both sides of the ball I see strong discipline, very good schemes, and players that play in a physical way. They play hard. That's why they win so often.
against both executing good number playing plays series sides solid team watching
They're a very solid team in everything they do. Watching them against Minnesota, there were a good number of plays and series where they were really playing well and executing on both sides of the ball.
against game haunt instance kept knee maybe position reason rotten side texas
What we were doing at the end of the game, we've never done before. The other side of it is, if we don't do it, for instance when we did take a knee against Texas Tech, does that then come back and haunt you? Is that the reason that maybe kept you out of something, and how do you live with that as well? Its really a rotten position to play in.
game physical watching
Watching the TCU game and critiquing it Sunday) on tape, we just weren't very physical up front. TCU just outplayed and outcoached us.

chance deserves means mostly older opportunity paul played poorly saying seen sitting start takes thompson
We're going to give Rhett Bomar a chance to start and see where he takes it. By no means am I sitting here saying that Paul Thompson is responsible for the way we played Saturday. That's not the case. We had a lot of guys, mostly older guys, play as poorly as I have seen them play. We feel Rhett deserves the same opportunity that Paul had.
convert protect
When we did protect him, we didn't convert our opportunities.
What he has been able to do is just remarkable.

We're going to keep getting better as we go. I believe there's great potential as we go. Are we there yet? Obviously not. But we're going to keep trying.

We feel that Rhett deserves an opportunity to have the opportunities that Paul had and see what he can do with, ... That's the direction we're going to go and work from there.
gets good guys handling plays shape understand
We're in good shape and the guys understand the plan. It just gets down to making plays and handling the different wrinkles.
impossible until
Until we can be responsible with the ball, it's impossible to win.
